abstract

We identify the 2d topological theory underlying the N=2 4d superconformal index with an explicit model: q-deformed 2d Yang-Mills. By this route we are able to evaluate the index of some strongly-coupled 4d SCFTs, such as Gaiotto's T_N theories.

Generalised 4d Partition Functions and Modular Differential Equations

hep-th · 2025-12-01 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Generalized Schur partition functions Z_USp(2N)(q; alpha) for 4d N=2 USp(2N) theories satisfy order-(N+1) MLDEs with vanishing Wronskian index, alpha fixing MLDE parameters, with links to RCFT characters and a conjecture on quantum monodromy traces.

On non-relativistic integrable models and 4d SCFTs

hep-th · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Generalized Schur indices of N=2 class S theories are expressed using eigenfunctions of non-relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser models, with extensions claimed for N=1 SCFTs via limits of models like Inozemtsev.

    In W3 CFTs, Lanczos coefficients b_N grow as N^2 for generalized Liouvillian with W generators, violating the universal linear growth bound and causing divergent Krylov complexity, with the same quadratic growth in the SL(3,R) subalgebra.
